Everyone is debating the fact of whether or not aerobic training actually resulted in fat GAIN...in this study, IT DID! deal with it. We can all say studies are skewed etc. but the reality is that this is what THIS study showed.

Getting back to what bipennate said....
" If I'm creating a caloric deficit, then I'm going to lose weight. If I'm creating a caloric surplus, I'm going to gain weight. .........So the question becomes why did the cardio group gain weight in this study? "
Is this calorie surplus / deficit maxim ( scientific fact ?? ) he touched on a valid generalization or not in your view ?
Beginning to wonder if it is still valid for anyone to say that any fat gain is likely the result of a NET calorie surplus - as per the comment above as I would have thought if the deficit rationale for fat loss is suspect, what of the surplus rationale for fat gain ?
I mean, if I had to explain to someone the realtionship between calories and fat gain to someone ( who knew nothing of fitness / nutrition ) would I possibly have to include some caveat beyond what bipennate said ? For, example, ' you will lose fat over time if you have a sustained calorie deficit...with possible the exception of the following " X " circumstances where the defcit stems from aerobic exercise. '
